How do I get started
Hi, I just want to activate some (15) Business Basic licences for our charity trustees and admin team. I can get through to billing but am being requested for a credit card. As a very small charity we do not have a credit card, nor would I want to enter a personal credit card. How do I proceed to activate the licences? The support tool doesn't seem to know how to answer the question and the support phone number doesn't work... thanks in advance for any help!
jcheang​ I am by no means a professional Microsoft administrator, but have been using it for several years. I have found that regardless of the plan, you still have to enter a credit card, even for the free plans. You will not be charged. You will receive monthly invoices, but the invoice total will be $0. Based on my experience, it is a good deal.
NOTE: My account got hacked a couple of months ago and there were several subscriptions taken out. However, I contacted Microsoft immediately, and they reversed the charges.
NOTE 2: Business Basic licenses are only for the online versions of Microsoft products. It doesn't include the desktop apps.
